FEDERAL LABOR CALLS ON THE NSW PREMIER TO DESIGNATE A ‘PROTECTIVE’ NORTHERN NSW BORDER ZONE, NOW

FEDERAL LABOR CALLS ON THE NSW PREMIER TO DESIGNATE A ‘PROTECTIVE’ NORTHERN NSW BORDER ZONE, NOW
Federal Richmond MP Justine Elliot has written to the New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian urgently requesting a border zone be established in far northern NSW, to protect residents of the North Coast.
Her open letter reads:
“As a result of the unfolding COVID-19 crisis coming out of Sydney, the QLD Government will likely have no choice but to shut its border again due to this dire situation in NSW.
The QLD Government has stated they are monitoring the situation and considering a hard border closure due to the outbreak in NSW.
I request that you designate a Northern NSW “border zone” which restricts residents from wider NSW, entering our region.
This action is required to protect the residents of Northern NSW. Failure to take such action puts lives, businesses and jobs at risk.
If the hard border closure occurs, the residents of Northern NSW would be much safer, and their livelihoods protected if they could be included in a QLD/Northern NSW “border zone”.
I ask that you act urgently on this important matter,” Justine Elliot said.
State LNP Member for Tweed, Geoff Provest, is monitoring the border situation. Constituents have taken to his Facebook page to voice their concerns, one man commenting,
“Why is there exemptions for NSW/Victoria border residents, and not us. Border residents deserve to be considered immediately, not days later, at both ends of the state,” Brendon Cox wrote via Facebook
An update by the Palaszczuk Government on border restrictions is expected Friday morning which may impact Tweed and other NSW residents.
